Overview
- A 66-year-old local woman, Gregoria Mamani, was fatally attacked by two rottweilers while walking to the market in Umapalca on Sunday, suffering fatal bite wounds at the scene.
- Neighbors say the dogs regularly roamed the public road used by workers, students and public transport and that the animals were linked to a nearby chanchería or kept at a property beside the route.
- Police from the Comisaría de Sabandía arrived to gather testimony and perform on-site procedures and forensic teams collected evidence as the case was handed to prosecutors for investigation.
- Residents protested on Monday to demand the Municipalidad Distrital de Sabandía inspect the pig farm, remove roaming animals and evaluate closing the facility; property owners say the dogs escaped from the roof.
- Locals and reporters noted wider enforcement gaps in dog-ownership rules in the region, and officials have not announced sanctions yet, leaving investigations and any municipal action pending.
